· Alec Baldwin, Rosie Perez, Molly Shannon, and Liev Schreiber read some Christmas stories written by funnyman David Sedaris at Studio 54 tonight.

· Eclectic Canadians Broken Social Scene play for all the nice little boys and girls tonight at Bowery Ballroom. The Pixies play again tonight at Hammerstein, if you can get your dirty fingers on a ticket. [BB]
· Sooo many nagging questions still unanswered from Tom Wolfe's latest sex book. Like, who is Charlotte Simmons based on? Oh, it's supposed to be his daughter? Well color us dense. If you think of any more burning issues in the meantime, he speaks tonight at the 92nd Street Y. [92Y]
